- Mm, nothing like 30 year old candy in the morning.
- Let's talk about that.
(cheerful music)
Good Mythical Morning.
- You're gonna be watching GMM history today,
because at the end of this episode,
we are installing the replacement to Gregg's bass,
right there behind us.
- Woohoohoo!
But first, you ready to eat some old-ass snacks?
- Oh yeah, I am.
I like these discontinued episodes.
Not only they're fun, not only are they getting the views-
- Getting the views.
- Uh-huh, but they also help me
deal with my abandonment issues.
- Oh.
It's like exposure therapy
to prove that some snacks have left us,
and should never return.
- Exactly.
But I am still really scared
that my mom is not gonna pick me up after this.
It's time for,
"To Be Discontinued, More More More More
More More More More More More More Snacks Edition."
- All right, first up we have some kids that are sour.
They're sweet, they're gum.
They're also from 2016, and they're extreme!
It's Sour Patch Kids Extreme Blue Raspberry Stride gum.
Whoa, a collab!
- Mm-hm.
We paid 35 dollars and 50 cents on this.
- You can't keep us away.
- For this. - Nuh-uh.
We'll pay 35.50 if we have to.
- I mean, it looks very fresh.
I would not know that this is six years old.
- Well, I mean that's not that old for gum.
I don't think we're in trouble, you know, like,
I think we're safe to eat this.
I was gonna say drink it,
but I don't think we need to drink it, we need to chew it.
Released in 2015, discontinued in 2016,
so a short shelf life.
- The scent is a little strange.
Is that the sourness, though, or is that...?
- I think this is original scent.
I think this is 2015 scent.
- You don't think it's Boggsing?
- No, no.
2015 gum, man? No.
- "Phenylketonurics."
- Oh, I can taste that.
- It contains phenylalanine.
And soy.
- I mean, why have fresh breath,
when you can have sour breath, kids?
- Is it sour?
- A little bit.
I mean, think about it.
Think about some middle schooler out there in 2015
had their first sloppy french kiss,
and it was super sour because of this gum.
Just think about that.
That's somebody's memory
they're gonna take with them to their grave.
- I like the thought of that.
- What part?
- Not making out with a middle schooler.
- Okay, you didn't have to clarify that.
- Well, I didn't want you to think that.
- Well, I wasn't thinking it,
but now I am thinking it,
because you said it.
- But I wasn't thinking it.
- Well you shouldn't have said it.
There are some things you should not say after you think.
- But someone out there might think it,
and I don't want 'em to put words in my mouth.
- Okay.
Thanks for clarifying.
We paid 35.50 for this.
- I like the idea of a sour punch,
and then it's sweet afterward.
I mean, but I'm not much of a gum guy.
Are you much of a gum guy?
You think you need more sour gum in your life?
- I think gum is a crutch.
- What?
What does that even mean?
You think gum is a crutch, for what?
- I don't know, man.
- You don't know what you mean.
"I think gum is a crutch for
people who, they wanna be chewing,
but they ain't got nothing to chew on."
- I'll just say, I was watching that "McCartney 3,2,1"
on the plane because you told me to watch it.
I love it.
The thing I hate about it
is Paul McCartney chewing gum the whole time.
- I didn't even notice!
- Yeah, it's a crutch.
McCartney's got a crutch.
I would've thought he was above that.
- As much as I chew,
I'm afraid that my chewer's gonna run out,
and that's how I'm gonna die, like an old elephant.
- So we're scared of this.
So Sour Patch Kids Extreme Blue Raspberry Stride gum?
- [Both] Nah, that's whack.
- If you like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain,
well Rockstar Energy thought you might like
a version of that beverage without the liquor,
but with a bunch of taurine.
This is the discontinued Rockstar Energy Pina Colada flavor.
- Mm.
- It's blue.
We paid 130, almost eight dollars, $138?
- For an eight pack, I mean come on,
it's only 17.22 per can.
- Okay, they come in an eight pack.
- You wanna bring your glass in?
Now one thing I will say,
is we did find...
- [Link] It's clear.
- Reddit users were quick to suggest
that while this thing is discontinued,
if you really like your energy drinks
with pina colada flavor,
Bang energy drink has still got you covered.
I mean, not a sponsor, but, you know.
And there's also super creatine in this.
So, we might taste this on the back side,
just to find out like...
- Taste it on the backside?
- Taste it on the backside.
- Is that...?
I'm gonna need more information.
- This is gonna be an enema.
I'm gonna open it and shove it up your ass.
(crew guffaws) - Come on.
All right, so...
- And if you like it, then we don't have to bring this back.
- It's ooh. Gosh.
- Oh.
- Is that a bad...?
- Scroll that back, 'cause there's a Reddit user
that claims that samples of Pina Colada Rockstar,
this right here,
were handed out for free at a concert in 2014.
And the concert was the official Rockstar Energy Drink
Mayhem Festival,
that featured bands like Korn, Cannibal Corpse,
and Body Count.
They all covered that "If you like pina colada"
at this particular thing. - Korn.
A Korn cover.
- But this could have been in someone's hand
who was listening to Korn.
And then was like "I'm gonna save this, for the future."
- Typically when we taste these drinks,
especially when it's only a handful of years old,
it doesn't have...
It's got Boggs to it.
Bring out Boggs!
Because I swear it's got Boggs, man.
- I think it might have some unintentional Boggs.
- Oh yeah, it's not full Boggs, but.
- 'Cause I think...
- Oh, it's bad. - Betcha this is...
I betcha.
Oh.
Actually, you know what?
Smell that.
Before I stuff it up your...
- This smells good.
- That smells good, doesn't it?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Oh, wow.
The pina colada flavor on that Bang
is completely absent.
- There's no reason to go back to the Rockstar.
There's no freaking reason for it, man!
- But what if you love Korn?
- Well I'm stumped.
- Okay.
- No, there's no reason to bring it back.
- All right, Rockstar Pina Colada,
nah, that's whack. - [Link] That's whack!
- Now the Wade Boggs bar remains the standard
of discontinued stink,
by which we measure all other discontinued stink.
- [Link] Uh-huh.
- Albert Belle's bar couldn't beat it.
- Nope.
- But what about Jose Canseco's bar from 1991?
One year younger than the Boggs bar.
- All right, says it right here, Rhett.
"Taste the power."
We paid a whopping six dollars for this.
- Wow!
- How's that make you feel, Jose?
- Now, is the power steroids?
- I don't know, let's taste it
and see if our balls shrink.
- Okay, yeah.
Yeah. - I'm trying to
open this in a way to...
- If your balls shrink in the woods and no one's there...
- Well you're there.
- Does a bear make a sound?
- Oh my gosh, look at the color of this thing.
- [Rhett] It's like gold!
- No, that's green, dude.
- Oh, no, that's just the paper.
(guffaws)
We were so amazed.
It comes in a sheet- - [Link] It's paper-
- [Both] Oh!
- It's turds!
- [Rhett] It's five little turds!
- Oh my gosh.
Oh!
- Oh, it's coming apart.
- I'm so afraid of this thing.
- This little turd went to the market.
(crew chuckles)
Oh gosh, Boggs smell, whoa, whoa!
When you took that little strip offa there?
Man, smell that!
Hey, dude, this may have out-Boggs'd the Boggs.
- You have to do it like they taught us in chemistry class,
you gotta waft it.
- I said "waff."
- Oh, man.
- There is a T on it, I guess, lemme waft this.
- I don't, it's fully Boggsing, y'all.
- Hold on!
If you made a baseball bar in the early 90s,
it smells like this,
I mean I think that's just,
oh, I'm getting a headache.
I'm getting the instant headache.
- Now, crap, are we gonna have to de-box the Boggs?
- We might just get another box.
- Well, here's the thing, 'cause,
we're smelling the Boggs, in a box, in the packaging.
And I think...
- This might be worse.
- I don't wanna dethrone the...
- Well you can have two shadow boxes.
- Oh!
- Is this a shadow box?
Is that what...?
- No, there's no shadow.
It's a translucent box.
Now we've gotta eat this, homie.
- No we don't.
- We got to.
We do have to.
Jose is watching.
- Oh yes. Hello, Jose, welcome.
- What's up, man?
I know you're still all over the internet.
- Still very active.
- Owning it.
- On the socials.
- Owning your brand.
However you wanna describe your brand,
you know what, I know you're owning it.
- Okay.
This thing has like leaked.
- Yeah, this paper underneath is just wet.
- [Rhett] This isn't like if you,
I mean, it's got a...
- I can't!
- Oh.
Is it a toffee bar?
What is it? How does it describe itself?
- "Taste the power."
- It says "With fresh roasted peanuts."
- I'm afraid to taste it.
- [Rhett] I don't think we should taste it.
- I don't think we should put it in our mouths.
- We should lick daddy it.
Just lick the front of it.
- Eh!
- Oh, that's poison.
Man.
- Don't do steroids.
And don't eat this.
- Let's talk about the form factor, though.
These five little-
- Form factor?
- The five little bars, though, what about that?
- I mean, it's made history today,
because it has-
- Out-Boggs'd the Boggs.
- I would say it has tied the Boggs.
- Okay.
So they're gonna have to have a Boggs-off.
- Yeah, they are.
- But I think we gotta get a,
sorry guys, art team,
we're gonna have to get a second box.
- I like this, though.
I really like the pieces.
I'm kinda thinking maybe we should bring this back.
- Well I don't think so,
'cause I don't think Jose needs more of a spotlight
on him right now,
I think that he's had his time.
- But nothing's come back today, yet.
- Well, you know what, we're not done.
- All right.
The 40/40 Canseco Bar.
- [Both] Nah, that's whack.
- Hey, you know what?

- Okay.
Lots of foods are acceptable in cans,
you've got soup, beans, ravioli,
tortillas.
- Whoa, what?
- Tortillas. Tortillas? - Tortillas?
- Apparently, this was a thing back in the 50s,
with Ashley's canned tortillas.
- Wow.
- We paid 87 dollars and 15 cents.
- And 15 cents, don't forget it.
Ashley's got some nice looking cans.
Open it up.
- [Link] Look at that.
- See what's going on inside.
- I mean, how could this just not be complete dust?
- Oh, hold on, before you...
Oh, it's still got some weight to it.
I think there's some moisture in there.
How many tortillas come in a can?
Is it one big one?
- It says "Contains four servings.
Ingredients, corn and water."
That's it.
- Corn?
We can't get away from Korn.
"One dozen."
There's a dozen tortillas in there.
You think we can individually pull 'em apart?
- I don't know. You got a headache?
- Yeah. - That Boggs.
Boggs and Canseco going at it,
really hurting me, man.
- [Rhett] I've been Canseco'd.
- [Link] Right, I've broken the se-
- Oh, gosh!
- Did you hear that?
- Hold on, we might be 'bout to get a smell.
- It just went "sklckl."
It was suctioned, and the lid came up.
I think a little bit of air went in.
- [Rhett] I feel wrong about opening it.
- [Link] Waft it.
- I smell a little bit of something.
- I don't smell anything, yet.
- Oh, Locke.
Oh, Locke.
Now I'm calling you my son's name.
- Why are you calling me "Locke"?
Why'd you call me "Locke"?
- I meant to say "Oh, look."
And then I said "Oh, Locke."
'Cause I smelled it at the same time.
It popped up and I saw them rolled in there.
- [Link] I didn't...
- See if you can...
See? Look at, they're rolled with paper.
- [Link] Look at that.
Stevie, you're whoaing over there?
- [Stevie] It looks like... - Pretty cool.
- [Stevie] No, it doesn't look as bad
as I thought it was going to.
- Just upend it right there on that.
- [Stevie] Like it looks maybe preser-
That is impressive. - Holy moly!
From the 50s?
(Link coughs)
Yeah, it's pretty bad.
But...
- I should've wafted.
- It's not a Boggs, it is a corn.
- Yeah.
- You know what I'm saying?
It tastes like, have you ever left corn out in the sun?
- [Link] I mean...
- It's beautifully rolled.
I love when things are separated
by little pieces of paper like that.
- [Stevie] Ashley!
- Yeah, Ashley.
- You've outdone yourself, girl!
You really put the papers in here.
- I mean they're all, like...
Dude, this is like 70 years old.
- They're not powdery or anything,
they're just...
- They don't smell that bad.
- Maybe it's the paper.
- I feel like I might have to eat one!
- Smella-dat.
- The paper smells great!
Dude, it smells like a can of corn.
The smell is so nostalgic, 'cause,
in my aunt's pond, we used to fish with corn.
We would catch bream with corn on the hook, right?
- Wow.
- And, wow, yeah, it's wow.
- Wow, dude. - This
smells exactly like a can of corn!
(crew chuckles)
It doesn't taste like it's gonna hurt me.
- It doesn't taste good, though.
- No.
But I'm just so impressed with Ashley.
- I mean, think about the throwability
of a bag of tortillas.
I mean, we've tried to golf with 'em,
we know how it is, it's not really that great.
But you can really send a can,
you can fully send it, like all the way.
- Yep.
So if you need to throw it... - I mean you, wowowow.
- I'm very impressed. - I like the throwability
of these tortillas. - I don't know how
you preserved it so long, Ashley.
Lovely can, lovely concept.
- We're not zilching out today,
something's gotta be brought back.
- Ashley's canned tortillas.
- [Both] Bring it back!
- All right, let's get to redecorating this wall.
As you know, our college roommate Gregg, with three Gs,
finally asked for his bass back,
so we put out a call asking if any Mythical Beasts
had anything worthy to take its place.
We got a ton of submissions.
Some sweet, some artistic,
and some just plain dumb.
- [Rhett] Yes.
- But we wanna thank all of you for your suggestions.
Even the plain dumb ones.
- Yes, and after a lot of discussion,
we have made our choice.
Something that will become a permanent part
of this very set,
and not only are we gonna reveal it in Good Mythical More,
but we're also gonna be talking directly
to the Mythical Beast who donated it.
However, something else happened that was pretty unexpected,
during this whole community-building exercise.
- Yeah, in the initial announcement,
I made an offhand comment.
Hopefully there's something special about the bass guitar,
like it's from the bassist from Alabama.
- That's pretty specific.
- [Link] Teddy Gentry, he's the guy with the hat,
right there.
- [Rhett] He still around?
- He's still around.
Teddy Gentry-
- Are you making a special request?
- If you're a Mythical Beast,
and you wanna donate your bass...
- Well, it turns out,
he caught wind of it.
- Let's see if he's on.
Hey, hey!
It's you!
- It's me, how you guys doing?
- Great.
- We're doing great, man.
- I'm Link.
- And I'm Rhett.
- Teddy.
Meet you guys.
- Oh, we know who you are.
- Oh, yeah.
- Do you know who we are?
I think that's the real question.
- I know you guys now.
- Okay.
Tell us how you heard about this,
and how we got to this point right now.
- My son, he was telling me about you guys,
he said "Hey, these guys have got
more followers than you got, Dad."
So I said "Cool."
And then he showed me the clip
where you talked about the bass player,
and you showed, with the group Alabama,
and you showed me with a picture with the hat on.
And so I said "Well, I gotta get these guys a bass guitar."
So I'm in there now.
I'm hip, I'm cool.
- Is that the bass behind you,
or is that just a well-placed bass?
- No, this is the bass behind me that I'm sending you guys,
it's a very...
Story behind the bass, too.
- Tell us the story.
- Oh, well, it's a bass that Jeff Cook,
our lead guitar player with Alabama,
he always wanted me to play a five string,
so he had this made for me.
It's the first five string that I have ever owned.
And I told Jeff, I told him about it last week.
I said that you guys were wanting a bass,
and he said "Well send 'em the blue bass."
- Well lemme tell you, it's gonna be an honor
to have the bass on the wall,
to be able to tell the story.
The fact that Jeff made it for you,
and, I love that.
- We weren't expecting this to actually happen.
- I mean, I was secretly hoping it would happen,
but I didn't expect it to happen.
So I'm very happy right now.
- Yeah, when you get our age,
you're just happy to find somebody
that still wants to talk to you, you know.
- Well, it's beautiful.
It's gonna fill that space very, very nicely.
- Just, thank you guys for knowing who Alabama was.
- Oh, we know. We really know.
- Yeah, I feel like this is a great melding
of country music history
and internet history.
Very special.
- Thank y'all, 'preciate you.
- Thank you.
- This has been awesome.
- Nice to meet you. - Thanks again.
- Thank you guys.
- All right. See ya.
- Legend.
This is awesome, you know?
And, we got it!
- It happened! Five string bass from Teddy Gentry!
- I don't know...
- Do it, Link.
Wow, very impressive. - I don't know, man.
- Wow, yeah.
(Link hums)
- And it's got a note on it.
- "To Rhett and Link,
to the Mythical Mother Beast!"
- "Teddy Gentry."
(crew laughs)
Thanks, Teddy, for sending...
- I think he means the set.
I think he just means... - This is the Mother Beast.
I mean, he not only decorated our set,
he's now named the set.
Welcome to the Mother Beast.
The Mythical Mother Beast.
- If you could go back to young Rhett and Link,
middle school,
and tell us that,
A, there's something called a five string bass.
We'd be like "Whoa!" - "What?"
- And we're gonna get the first one,
and maybe the only five string bass
that was made for Alabama,
'cause he went on to tell us that,
he doesn't play the five string bass.
I mean, he likes to play the four string bass,
so we get the five string bass.
- Put it up there!
- But think about what we would think about that, man.
I just feel like...
- This is a milestone moment for us,
I don't know how you feel about it.
One of the greatest country music bands in history,
and, yeah.
We got a part of that history in the Mythical Mother Beast.
(crew applauds) So...
- [Rhett] It happened!
- Thanks, Teddy, for being such a good sport,
and, yeah.
We wanna unveil something else in Good Mythical More,
but thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell.
- You know what time it is!
- Brittney. - I'm Thomas.
- I'm Caleb.
- I'm Mom.
- And we're doing a taste test tournament
to determine the best Reese's candy.
- [All] And it's time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality.
- Was that "Phillip"?
- That was a dramatic...
- Is that what he said his name was?
- Yeah. "Phillip." What's up, Phillip?
- All right, click the top link to find out
what else is going on the wall,
and to discover which baby names have gone out of style
in Good Mythical More.
- And to find out
where the Wheel of Mythicality's gonna land.
